Review by Library Journal Review

Designer and marketing consultant Palmisano, inspired by her quest for a distinctive kitchen island countertop, here explains how to reuse, reclaim, recycle, and repurpose building materials for the home. She provides a wealth of information on the various choices of wood, glass, metal, stone, and lighting fixtures; discusses how to locate, evaluate, select, and use the salvaged goods; and includes interviews with those involved in the salvage movement. Close to 200 photographs show renovated rooms of various decor styles. Whereas Lori Dennis's Green Interior Design is aimed at professional designers, Palmisano's purpose is design inspiration for amateurs looking for an individual, green alternative for building materials.
